That cluster of teenage talent boasts bags of potential. But the first three are awkwardly priced this season and the latter extremely pricy as rookie selections, given the hefty price tags they carried at the draft table.

The skipper will again lead the Dogs’ engine room, so expect little drop off from the reliable veteran. For so long he’s been Mr Consistent in fantasyland, who has started racking up record numbers of possessions in recent years.

Expect more of the same from Boydy in 2013.

BUY ‘EM

Ryan Griffen ($567,400, midfield)

The key to the Dogs could also be the key to your SuperCoach success. For whatever reason, has never been an overly popular selection despite churning out 100s with relative ease. For that reason, if you’re after a point of difference in the premium midfield stocks look no further.

Brett Goodes ($128,200, defence/midfield)

Lock in the brother of Adam now. The rookie revelation is charging towards a Round 1 debut at the fairytale age of 29 after a sizzling summer. He won the last place on the Dogs list after impressing Macca with his training intensity and after a decorated VFL career is one of the SuperCoach bargains of the year.

Koby Stevens ($176,600 midfield)

The bash-and-crash midfielder couldn’t get a look in at the Eagles, but sizzled in the WAFL and will get his chance at the kennel. And at a rookie price he’s worth the punt. The Gippsland boy has been one of the standouts this pre-season, while when he wore No. 16 in the London exhibition match many thought it could have been Ryan Griffen.

BURY ‘EM

Jarrad Grant ($327,200, forward)

The top-five draft choice comes cheap, and he’s at the crossroads, but he’s simple not a SuperCoach pick. A handful of kicks, a pair of snazzy goals and a skilful turn just doesn’t translate into consistent SuperCoach numbers.

The super professional has had yet another flawless pre-season campaign, but at that price there are simply better options now. The midfield warrior will soldier up consistent scores again, but massive tons win SuperCoach games and Crossy’s unlikely to produce those this season.

Tom Williams ($255,400 defence, forward)

Another high draft choice who simply isn’t a SuperCoach player. Spoils and cutting off leads don’t score and for that reason neither does Williams. His low price and dual-position could appeal, but… pass.

SUPERCOACH DRAFT WATCHLIST

Adam Cooney (midfield)

THE Brownlow medallist has completed a pain-free summer – his first since 2008 – and is looking ominous. If midfielders start to run dry, turn to the decorated Dog. He could wind up a shrewd steal.
